Our sleep-training advice: Skip town and make your partner do it

I know… It’s absolutely ridiculous when you read it out loud and actually sounds more like a control freak. We are determined to do it all on our own and then “humbly” display our dark, puffy eyed selves until someone notices and gives us the proverbial pat on the back. It hurts to admit that, but for everyone’s sake, it really needs to stop. Some moms don’t have a choice and I take my hat off to you but for those of us that do… Let go and let dad.

Key Takeaways:

  • Getting a baby to sleep through the night is rarely easy. For some parents, the idea of letting a child cry is too emotionally wrenching.
  • Whatever the resistance, however, if you want to get on a sleep schedule, sleep training’s the way to go.
  • If you’re a parent having a hard time sleep-training your child, consider this elegant solution — get out of the house for a few nights and have your partner sleep-train for you.
